Who are you -?

Sorry for the mysterious title...it kind of eludes to having a juicy, prophetic, deep subject in this blog....Well, it ain't. Just corny.
Well, maybe not so corny.... maybe a little deeper as you wade thru the thing... ? ?
Luck to you.



OWEY!! ~~ OWEY!! ~~ OWEY!! ~~ OWEY!! ~~ OW!!

ouch even~!


Daaaaaaammmmnn ~! who the hell beat me up while i was sleeping?!?!

I awoke this morning with every single bone in my body screaming for relief.
All Muscles in chorus...

Every square inch of skin singing back-up.

The last time i felt like this i had nurses at my disposal.

. . .

Did anyone get the number of that TRUCK!!?


One thing is sure...


I AM ALIVE !!!


So what if will get started a little slower today.

So what if i grit my teeth a little getting up from the normal little parking place for my butt in the front room.

So what if i will ask for a little more help from those around me today.

I'm a sore 'cuz i've been active the last few days.

I've been active the last few days because i have been physically able to be.

I've been walking around the place, went outdoors and got some fresh air. That bright thing in the sky shone its light upon my skin.

I think this all means:
I AM ALIVE !!!

I'll happily accept that today, take my more-than-half-full-glass and be on my way TY.

Won't you come with me? after all....
WE ARE ALIVE !!!

A sign of the times?

Coming home from a trip to Modesto the other day...

My daughter driving (of course), we were driving past an elementary school.
I noticed several of the children, or groups of children had adult males walking with them.

Cool ! I thought to myself. All these guys are walking their kids home from school !
Being a single Dad, I am sensitive to father/child stuff and like seeing the relationship between fathers and children being cultivated in positive ways.
Great~! All these Dads out here meeting their kids getting out of school and walking them home.

Then I had to wonder, Do all of these guys work a swing or night shift that allows them such a wonderful luxury? Crap, maybe they are laid off or furloughed or some other corporate treachery that has them out on such a fantastic afternoon. (The weather this day was great!)
Maybe the neighborhood thugs, or traffic's disregard for pedestrian safety necessitated their presence.

Crap. I'll try to ignore the pessimist in me that thought anything past "Cool ! All these guys are walking their kids home from school ! " and just stay with that...happy thoughts.
